Fig. 2. (a) Plot of eigenvectors for the first two principle components (PC), values in parenthesis indicate the contribution of the PC to the total variation in water quality. PC 2 is highly positively correlated with temperature. (b) Relationship of sample locations between the first two principle components produced in PCA. R5 = Clarifier 1, R9 = Clarifier 2.
